"Talk-to-text" has been around since the days of the Creative Labs Soundblaster 16, like 1992, if not before, but it stills gets confused. My auto mechanic guy uses it on his cell phone all the time. I send him a text, typing it in. Takes me about five minutes (I'm slow) for a four line text. He uses talk-to-text to respond, then send three more texts for all the "typos" it does from mis-interpreting what he'd said... One of my least-favorite phrases from our "talking" GPS device (which we nicknamed "Amelia") "recalculating...". Next would be "... in one quarter mile, make a U-Turn"... Traffic laws, what traffic laws?... Of course, another good one is "Turn left in one half mile and reach destination" slight pause "Turn left"... haven't even traveled 500 feet!... Add in AI to that?... I do not like talking devices. They act like a distracted mother-in-law...
